Geocache Description:

This cache should be an easy find, but you need to take a moment and reflect on the area you are in and think back to your ancestors.


cCamp Nelson Confederate Cemetery

Thousands of Arkansas and Texas confederates were camped near this spot in 1862. The camp, named in honor of Brigadier General Allison Nelson, was stricken by disease resulting in 1,500 deaths including Nelson. The dead were buried among these hills and forgotten until 1906 when a group of confederate veterans supervised the establishment of this cemetery. It was soon forgotten and neglected. In 1981, local school teachers and students restored the cemetery. It was rededicated in 1982.

It is very overwheling if you just stop and look around after finding this cache and realize that this is just a tiny part of many many unknown soldiers.

Congratulations of being the First to Find goes once again to TopKitty98 and Markrocksinheavennow. ***********************************************************
